Really? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that Fred and George's eyes were the same color as Ginny's, and that they had blue eyes. Or maybe it was just that they were shorter than the rest of the Weasleys like Ginny?

I'm not sure, but I always write them as having brown eyes.

According to the Harry Potter wiki (which I think is more comprehensive than the Lexicon), Ginny's eyes are brown, and Ron's eyes are blue. However, the eye colour of the twins is not given, so it could be either. However, given that Ginny is described as being somewhat like the twins in appearance, their eyes would probably be brown like Ginny's.

I'll just say one thing: Stick to the Principle of Dominance. Genetics say that brown eyes are dominant. So my guess is that lesser number of Weasleys would have blue eyes. So Fred and Gerge, according to this, should have brown eyes.

In theory this may be true, but not necessarily in true in life. For example, my mom had beautiful brown eyes, my dad blue, of four kids, only one child had brown hair/blue eyes like my mom, the other 3, blonde hair and blue eyes. My sister's kids, she has blue eyes, the boys father has brown, two of the boys have blue eyes and one hazel.
Genetics are strange and don't always go with just the parents but also grandparents.

So in the case of the twins, it is possible to have then have either brown or blue. The only thing for certain is they both had the same colour eyes as they were identical.
